It seems that Oldfleld, one night In 1917, was billeted with his regiment in the chalk caves at Arras. All night the rats-- great, brown ones, went back and forth, back and forth.

To Survey Salt Lake The Great Salt lake haa never been surveyed by the government and the work, an extensive task, is about to be begun by the geological survey and the general land office. The survey will be an investigation of its resources and possibilities as much as anything else. Tracts of land found containing valuable salts will be designated and classified. The general land office through Its government surveyors will undertake the running over the entire desert of the Salt lake base line, first standard parallels north and south, the third guide meridian west and such other controlling lines of the public land survey system as are deemed necessary. Because of the saline and salts deposits throughout the area the surveyors will be compelled to use Wooden posts or suitable material to mark the course of these lines across the desert. Should the regulation Iron posts be used as markers in the survey, It is believed that they would soon be corroded. Compelled to Drink Stagnant Water Infested With Little Parasites.

He had let her run all spring and summer on pasture, so that she might do nothing hut grow, ss he said. But the filly had been obliged throughout the season to drink stagnant water from a small pond In the field. The consequence was that she became Infested with blood worms, also known as pallssde worms, Schlerostoma equlaum, and they literally robbed her of OVO17 drop of blood. Gradually Became Weak. The owner had noticed that the filly waa gradually becoming weak and that she showed s pot belly and that the membrane lining the eyelids was pale or blanched Instead of roay pink as they should be In health. He had heard of swamp fever and imagined that that might be the disease pre*ent. But when a postmortem examination was made Immediately after death, the large intestines were found simply writhing with tiny piuk worms. 8trange to say, myriads of threadlike worms were also found present In the stomach, liver and blood vessels. It did not seem possible that the filly could have lived so long In that condition. Possibly, she might have been saved by prompt sdmlnlstratlon of oil of chenopodium In a gelatin capsule sfter withholding feed for 36 hours, snd Immediately followed by a full dose of raw linseed oil.

Value of Cornstalks or Corn Stover for Feeding The value of cornstalks or corn stover, thst Is, corn thst Is cut before a frost, shocked In the field, snd the ears husked out. Is about two-thirds of that of timothy hay, and may be estimated to be worth one-half as much as clover hay. Fed In connection with clover or alfalfa hay on a good grain ration. It would really have more value for milk production than the same ration fed in connection with timothy hay or wild hay. If they are fed In abundance so thst the cows eat only the leaves and the finer parts of the stalks, they have a higher feed value, as most of their feed value Is In the leaves. If there Is some corn left In the stalks, of course they would hsve a still higher feed value. Lord Coleridge Relate* In- < foresting Happening*. Lord Coleridge, a veteran British judge, tells quaint tales of his experience. A well-known counsel was cross-examining a witness who wss giving evidence of having received from the prisoner a blow on the head which made him sick. "Were you really sick 7" asked counsel, "or did you only feel sIckT" "Well, It's the same thing, isn't ItT* the witness said. "Oh, no," said the barrister, pointing to the counsel for the other side. "My learned friend there is sick with me--very sick; but I do not apprehend that he will throw Up his brief." This story Is told by Lord Coleridge In "Tia for Remembrance," his entertaining book of reminiscences. Lord Coleridge, of course, was for many years a judge 8f the high court, snd his father and grandfather were 1 elso judges. It Is only to be expected, therefore, that many of his stories should concern the law. Here is another example: Most people have a rooted objection to serving on juries, and any excuse to escape the duty ts welcomed. One man, s victim to gout, was forbidden by his doctor to touch port. "How •oon would It affect me?" asked the patient "It would bring on an attack la 24 hours," said the medical man. "Come here tonight then," said the other, esgerly, "snd we'll open s bottle and make a night of It Tin summoned on a jury tomorrow, and you can give ma a certificate for leave of absence." A barrister, while playing golf, lost a ring. He was upset about It because, he said, his wife had given It to him. A search party of caddies wss organized. "I wouldn't hsve lost tt for anything," the barrister said to a friend; then, after a pause, "It's the third copy I've had made." Lord Selfrldge quotes sn amusing letter which was written to an Irish M. P. some years ago. when the Emerald Isle was experiencing s good desl of trouble over evictions. "Honored sir," ran the letter. "I appeal to you for Justice. I am the gurl which broke a policeman's head with a spade. A subscription was got up for me. But they gave the money to Biddy Maloney, who only threw hot water on a bailiff!" The author also tells an amusing anecdote of Lord Sterndale, a former master of the rolls, who went for a holiday on the Riviera. Some time later he received a letter, which had All Partie* to Suit Played Bluffing Gamtu Tom McNeal knew a deaf man whe had an account against another deaf man and brought suit before a justice of the peace who was deaf. When the J. P. called on the plaintiff to state his esse the plaintiff guessed what the J. P. was saying from the movement of his lips. "This defendant" said the plaintiff, "owes me $11 for groceries snd refuses to pay me." The J. P., seeing the plaintiff's mouth had quit working, turned to the defendant asking what he had to say. Not hearing what either had said but guessing it was up to him to say something, he stated his side of the case. "Your honor, it wasn't my dog. If a dog bit this man I'm sorry, but he ought to get after the owner of the dog, not me." The J. P. hadnt heard what either man said, but as both had quit talking felt It was his duty to render judgment. After pondering a few minutes and apparently weighing the evidence, he said, "Well there's a good deal to be said on both sides of this case, but (turning to the defendant), she is your mother and you will have to support her."--Capper's Weekly. Honor to Those Who Grow Old Gracefully Everywhere about us are to be observed young and middle-aged men and women who painfully exhibit the Imminence of age and Its Infirmities. They present sorry spectacles. They excite our wonder, but they inspire no emotion of sympathy within us. They have bowed to the indictment of age without presenting any defense. They become old in fact while yet the years of age are far from them. They have not the will to live life as it should be lived. They have permitted the spirit of youth to atrophy within them. How altogether Inspiring and encouraging is It to consider those who have learned "how to grow old gracefully," how to keep In touch with the tides of life, functioning constructively, winning from existence the priceless boon of contentment by an unswerving devotion to rational living, that living which is bssed upon rational and constructive work.

The best rations sre composed of corn meal and low-grade flour. The proportions sre usually about 80 per cent of the former and 40 per cent of the latter. Ground oats are sometimes substituted for the low-grade flour. However, the hull Is objected to by the majority of feeders. Corn meal and low-grade flour Is usually mixed with buttermilk or skim milk to the consistency of a thin batter. With ' crate fattening some form of milk Is tlal. French authorities had sent the letter to Lord Devonport because he had been food controller during part of tbe war. In a Scottish trial for murder the prisoner was charged with having insured the man's life and then shot him while out shooting. The judge summed up strongly In the prisoner's fSvor and he was quite unexpectedly acquitted. Some one expostulated with the Judge on the verdict "Surely," he naked, "you would not have liked to go out shooting with the prisoner?" "I wouldn't have minded," said the judge. 'Ton see, be wouldn't have shot me, for then I shouldn't hsve been alive to try him." LOCATION OF FERTILIZER WILL GREATLY AFFECT POTATO CROP Adjustment of Planter Determines Profit of Crop. Woman to Explore Persia Miss Ada Bo.vland, the Intrepid woman explorer, who has only recently returned to England after an adventurous trip through Nigeria, has now declared her intention of getting out alone for the more remote parts of Persia, an enterprise fraught with great risk. f In potato planting tests conducted at tke New Jersey agricultural experiment station to determine the most desirable position of the fertilizer in relation to the seed piece It has been found that a difference In yield of 74 buahels per acre may be obtained, depending upon where the fertiliser Is placed. Where the fertiliser was applied In direct contact with the seed piece, the yield was 132 bushels per acre; but where applied In a lower plane along the side of the seed piece and separated by one or two Inches of soil, the yield was 206 bushels. The New Jersey growers who use large amounts of fertilisers will find that this Information will be of considerable use when they are adjusting the fertiliser distributing attachments of their planters. Ususlly all of the fertiliser Is applied at planting time, when considerable Injury may occur unices it is properly done. In order to discover the best plsce for tbe fertiliser, the experiment station mads other tests. < The results sre as follows: fertiliser above the seed, with soli between. 128 bushels per sere; fertiliser mixed with the soli In the row, 152 bushels: fertilizer at the stde ef the seed piece but on tbe same plane. 173 bushels. From these results It can readily be seen that the grower's profits depend somewhat upon the adjustment of the fertiliser sttachment on his planter. bill 60 per cent, and at the ssme tlms eliminate all worry regarding whether the ration contains smple vltamlnes and minerals.

Spread Lime in Winter There seems to be abundant evidence that limestone spread now and during the winter months will do next year's crop much more good than If the limestone Is sown next spring. And It Is noticed that most of the limestone spread In the spring is not spread at all.

Defective Vision Rural districts generally report a larger per cent of defective vision than city districts. In Pennsylvania for Instance, rural districts show 16.8 per cent of defective vision among 500,000 pupils examined, while the cities of that state show only 8.5 per cent among 870,000 pupils examined; rural districts In Iowa report 14.4 per cent defective vision and city districts In ths same state 6.3 per cent defective vision. The explanation of this difference cannot positively be made, but It seems likely that it la due to such differing factors as conditions under which the tests were obtained, bsd Illumination In rural schools and homes and the small number of corrections of visional defects provided for rural children.
